Answer:
d = 576
Step-by-step explanation
Think of the two different speeds as belonging to 2 different cars going to the same place, taking the same route and going to the same place.
Let the time traveled by the fast car = t
Let the time traveled by the slower car = t+4
Let the rate of travel of the slow car = 36 mph
Let the rate of travel of the fast car = 48 mph
===========
d = 36*(t + 4)
d = 48 * t
Since the distance is the same, they can be equated.
48t = 36(t + 4) Remove the brackets.
48t = 36t + 144 Subtract 36t from both sides.
48t - 36t = 144 Combine
12t = 144 Divide by 12
t = 144/12
t = 12
Therefore the faster car takes 12 hours to get where it is going.
d = 48 * t
d = 48 * 12
d = 576

Answer:
We have 40% antifreeze and 70% antifreeze and we need to make 240 liters of 64% antifreeze.
We set up 2 equations where "f" is the 40 % and "s" is the 70%
A) f + s = 240
B) .40f + .70s = (.64 * 240) (or 153.6)
To solve both equations we multiply A) by -.40
A) -.40 f - .40 s = -96.00 then we add this to B)
B) .40f + .70s = 153.60
.30s = 57.6
s = 192
f = 48
48 liters of 40% = 19.20 liters of antifreeze
192 liters of 70% = 134.40 liters of antifreeze
That equals 153.60 liters of antifreeze in a TOTAL liquid amount of 240 liters.
Double Check
153.60 / 240 = 64% antifreeze.
